Every one knows that cocoa is an excellent
tonic Taken in the morning, at breakfast, il has
no equal for nutrition and strengthening qualities
but it can be taken with advantage at any time
1t is especially recommended for nursing mothers
to whom its benefits are invaluable. Unfortunate
~ cocoa is sometimes mixed with starch, arrow
root or sugar and thus loses great part of it's
special properties; hence, great should be
taken to procure the best in the market. Bakers
Breakfast Cocoa and Chocolate preparations have
long been the standard of excellence, and are

SERIOUS CHARGES.

w. E. Dian of WheelOck was ar
rested Tuesday, charged with the muir
der of his three weeks old child, Dora
Dian, two or three years ago. The
case is in Attorney Dunnett's hands
and if the state proves what it claims,
it will be- pretty hideOus affair. 1t
appears that Dian was prosecuted in
the latter part of Attorney MOntgom-
ery's administration for liquor selling
and plead guilty to IL first Offenses.
Dian disclosed information on which
others were prosecuted. Out of the
stir come still further developments.
Dian was charged with burning build
ings and with theft, his chief business
appearing to be the smuggling of rum
from Canada. He hailed from Barn
stOn, p. O., and lived with a Canadian
woman whom he called his wife. Three
or four children were born to them, all
apparently healthy, and it is said by
people in the vicinity that they all died
in the same way, and that no physi-
clan was ever employed by the couple
at the time of the birth of the children
or at any other time. 1t is believed
that the children, of whom Dora was
the oldest, were killed by Dian. Di
IAN disappeared about Dec. l and the
officers have been looking for him
since. He was arrested in Orleans
county last week by Officer Norton OH
liquor charges but was at once passed
over to Sheriff SullOway, and mol
pros entered that he might be held for
murder.

Y. Nj. G. A. Notes.

u
The regular monthly meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. was held Saturday even
ing. The various reports were offered
from heads of committees. In the gym
ed there has been received for this
department SIG and paid out $l06 /;
thus it will be seen that it is self-sup-
porting. Various new methods for in
teresting the boys have been success
fully tried. In devotional work the
reports were very encouraging; there
have been a number of hopeful con-
versions. The finance committees re-
port was not as hopeful. President
Putney delivered AN address to the
young men on the work of the coming
year, reviewing some of the mistakes
made in the past and mentioning some
of the special needs of the future. At
the close Rev. f. E. Dawson led de-
votional service.
During the last quarter Secretary
Page received ''call" to the Concord,
IN. H. association. After considering
the matter, however, he decided to re-
main with the st. JOhnsbury assOcia
ton.
The financial committee of the asso-
! citation have sent out large number
of circular letters with the beginning
of the new year briefly stating the ad-
vantages to. this community derived
from the association, and also stating
its needs. Many have left town who
were large contributors and few have
voluntarily come forward to take their
places. Fully $500 is needed between
now and March and it is hoped that
the letters and voluntary contributions
will bring in that amount.

ANNUAL VILLAGE MEETING.
A Large Attendance and Several Offices
Change Hands.

Al the annual village meeting held
yesterday afternoon the following Off
GERS were chosen for the year ensuing !:
President, Franklin Fairbanks.
Clerk, Jno. c.. Clark.
Treasurer, Elijah d. Blodgett.
Collector, Avery d. Pike.
Trustees, VIM. P. Fairbanks, T. c..
Fletcher, Irving H. Frost, o. P. Ben
nett, A. L. Bragg.
Fire Wardens, j. H. Thompson, Da
vid Wilson, Henry Goodwin, S. L..
Moore, George Ranney, A. L. Bragg,
VIM. Wetherbee.
Auditors, Dennis E. May, Harry
Blodgett, A. B. Noyes.
In the officers Mr.. Clark, clerk, takes
the place of d. E. May, Mr.. Fletcher
Mr.. Frost and Mr.. Bragg take the
places on the old board of trustees
of A. S. Livingston, Henry French
and Jovite Pinard, while Messrs. Fair
banks and Bennett were reelected.
There was a ballot called for on each
trustee, and the largest number of
votes cast was 300, and each one of
the above board was elected on the
first ballot.
On the matter of raising money
Treasurer Blodgett said that it would
require % cents on the dollar of the
grand list to pay interest on bonded
debt and instalment of debt becoming
due next season, and IL cents for cur
rent expenses. 1t was therefore voted
to raise 40 cents which is ten cents less
than last year, and this too will liqui-
date $500 more of the debt than last
year. This tax will give about $l2,
500, which sum it is estimated will run
this village another twelve months.
Under the head of new business
Judge Bowman moved that the trus-
tees be authorized to employ the band
to the amount of 5000 the coming year
either for outdoor concerts or i'm other
ways. This motion was carried and
the meeting adjourned.

The officers of Post Chamberlin were
installed Saturday evening at the reg
ular meeting of the post. The record
of the grand army for the past year
has been good one. One year ago
the post numbered lO0; to -day it num-
bers l52, gain of "A during the year
and the largest since the organization
of the post. Fervent remarks were
offered on the death of General Logan
by DR.. G.. B. Bullard, John Mcdonald
and others, and it was unanimously
voted to forward at once $50 to Mrs.
Logan as gift from the post. By a
curious coincidence the charter of Post
Chamberlin, which has been missing
for some years and was found week
or so ago, has the signature of John A.
Logan.

entertainment Friday night.
The passenger station burned Tues
day at about noon. The fire was dis
covered by the men on the Passumpsic
freight train going north, who gave
the alarm, but nothing could be saved,
the flames licking up the building and
its contents clean, including tickets
and money in the Office, the telegraph
instruments, and the greater part of
the things in the Farwell restaurant.
The actual loss is not great, for it was
a cheap structure, and far from being
credit to the railroads centering
there.
